[Verse 1]
E B
I was tuning in the shine on the light night dial
A E
Doing anything my radio advised.
B
With every one of those late night stations
A C#m
Playing songs, bringing tears to my eyes.
A B
I was seriously thinking about hiding the receiver
A B
When the switch broke 'cause it's old.
A B
They're saying things that I can hardly believe.
B E
They really think we're getting out of control.
[Chorus]
E C#m
Radio is the sound salvation.
B
Radio is cleaning up the nation.
A E B E
They say you better listen to the voice of reason.
A E B C#m
But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason.
B C#m
So you had better do as you are told.
B E
You better listen to the radio.
[Interlude]

[Bridge]
Am E
I want to bite the hand that feeds me.
Am E
I want to bite that hand so badly.
C#m B
I want to make them wish they'd never seen me.
[Verse 2]
E B
Some of my friends sit around every evening
A E
And they worry about the times ahead.
B
But everybody else is overwhelmed by indifference
A C#m
And the promise of an early bed.
A B
You better shut up or get cut up;
A B
They don't wanna hear about it.
A B
It's only inches on the reel-to-reel.
A B
And the radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools
B E
Trying to anaesthetize the way that you feel.
[Chorus]
E C#m
Radio is the sound salvation.
B
Radio is cleaning up the nation.
A E B E
They say you better listen to the voice of reason.
A E B C#m
But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason.
B C#m
So you had better do as you are told.
B E
You better listen to the radio.
[Outro]

E B E B
Wonderful radio
E B E B
Marvelous radio
E B E B
Wonderful radio
E B E B
Radio, radio.
E B E B
Radio, radio.
